Chapter 681: Chapter 409: Flamefire vs. Mysterious Forces, Which is Stronger? (6K for Monthly Votes)_2

Miss Yiluo Xi was too dazzling, they might not have had the chance to shine brightly, but the rewards were still enticing.

One by one, the young generation cultivated by the superpowers stepped forward.

There was more than one trial ground below the level of myth, with up to 10 trials happening simultaneously.

These geniuses then took their turns.

Most fell before the third challenge, and a very few managed to break through to the sixth or seventh. There were talents slightly surpassing the performance of Star-Slaying Sword Aichen, but none could break through the eighth challenge.

The enemy at the eighth challenge was a Seven Stars level Mysterious Evil. Even though the geniuses found after testing that this Mysterious Evil was slightly weaker than typical Seven Stars, being newly promoted, it was still a terrifying leap from the seventh challenge.

To contend against a myth with a mortal body was nearly an impossible feat. Moreover, geniuses who reached the eighth challenge had already expended much of their life energy and stamina, bearing wounds, their combat strength far from its peak—how could they fight like that!

To break through the eighth challenge, it took more than just talent and strength; tactical planning was also a requirement.

They could not be too reckless in their approach to the challenges!

The young talents pondered. At this point, they had selectively ignored Yiluo Xi’s mythical achievements, as well as the ’unprecedented genius’ who had seemingly swept through thirteen challenges according to the trial officials. That later pillar of power, Chi Tian Zhu, was as unreachable as a figure from heaven—none felt they could compare.

At this moment, what the talents were vying for was to see who could break through the eighth challenge, who would be the first to break through the eighth challenge!

The opportunity to break through was not just a one-time chance. Whether it was getting a clearer understanding of the Mysterious Evil, or the increased pressure from a gathering of strong contenders that sparked their potential, there was a notable improvement in a short time.

...

"After all, the Oasis is far apart and travel is inconvenient, so geniuses don’t get many opportunities to interact and spar with their peers. Without adequate interaction, it’s easy for geniuses to ’sit in the well and watch the sky.’"

How can a genius feel a sense of urgency when they are already the best in their own city, far outstripping their peers?

The progress of top talents in Flamefire is rapid; setting aside their cheats, competition played a significant role in this progress.

Xing Jing Lei wished to defeat Black Blade; Yiluo Xi aimed to surpass An Jianyou; Qianqiu seeing others with higher talent and even more effort, dared not take things lightly;

Older members feared being overtaken by new ones; upon arriving here, talents found there was always someone better... This was the atmosphere of Flamefire.

Oasis had its fair share of ’genius’ from Six Senses as well.

However, comparing them to the talents at the trial grounds, the geniuses from Flamefire weren’t genius enough; they, too, had been somewhat ’sitting in the well and watching the sky.’ After all, even if one were to consider the first or second-tier geniuses from Six Senses, individuals like Black Blade and An Jianyou wouldn’t have been able to break through the thirteenth challenge during their Six Senses period.

Perhaps not even the twelfth or eleventh challenge.

The unprecedented genius who had swept through thirteen challenges, the ninth pillar ’Chi’ of Candela Empire, what kind of figure was he? And just how powerful was the Candela Empire?

Of course, there was no need for undue self-deprecation; individuals like An Jianyou had not been on the path of Awakening for very long. With more time spent on refining their skills and improving all aspects of themselves, they might still have a chance to overcome all the challenges.

And now, the top individuals from Six Senses of Flamefire could at least try to make a push for the eighth challenge.

They had a chance, albeit not a very large one.

Stronger than the likes of Star-Slaying Sword, but not by much.

However,

Flamefire had more than just one or two Six Senses powerhouses of such caliber; even though the majority of their key strong figures needed to fulfill their duties in various positions across the land, there were still quite a few who had come to this land of trials.

Mage Ming Deng, Xu Tian, Gou Ping’an, Luo Jianxing, and others.

However,

Fang You’s gaze fell on Ming Deng. Mage Ming Deng was recognized as one of the top ten, perhaps even top three strongest individuals among Flamefire’s Six Senses, but it was a pity that he had long since passed the age of 30 and did not meet the requirements of the trial grounds.

Others who did not meet the requirements included Roland, Fan Anyuan, Shi Yunxi, and more, which Fang You found regrettable.

...

"The young generation of this era is quite remarkable," smiled Xi Guang Demigod, standing at the periphery of the trial platform with his arms crossed at a high point, nodding slightly in satisfaction as he watched the struggling younger generation.

The younger ones might feel dejected, considering themselves the pinnacle of talent in Shattered Sea and being considered merely ’average’ in the era of Candela. Yet, Demigod Xi Guang understood that being average in Candela was already quite impressive.

Demigod Hui Gang also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, they are much more formidable than we were in our day."

"Still, it is good for these youngsters to realize how vast the world is."

Demigods Hui Gang and Xi Guang were friends in their younger days and had fortuitously entered a Candela trial ground during one of their adventures.

The rules of the trial were much like they are now, and they barely managed to get through the seventh challenge with all their might, roughly on par with the younger generation’s Star-Slaying Sword Aichen.

They were able to step into the realm of demigods also thanks to the opportunities from the trials of their youth.

Unfortunately, that trial ground did not emerge in public, and after they left, it disappeared into the temporal chaos.

"This is also the progress of the times. Two or three thousand years ago, your Scarlet Lotus Empire, your Ancient Moon Dynasty, none were as strong as they are today. Given time, it is not impossible for humanity to regain the glory of the ancient Candela Empire," said Demigod Xi Guang.

"Let’s hope so," they sighed. At their level, they could hardly take another step forward, what they hoped to see most was a stronger Oasis and a new generation of talents emerging one after another.
